The psychiatric evaluation had also established a risk of social dangerousness, which is why the Public Prosecutor’s Office had requested that the man remain for two years in a Residential Facility for the Execution of Security Measures. The judge, however, did not grant the request. The 31-year-old Bangladeshi man who, on August 12th last year, attacked and wounded a 64-year-old woman in Largo La Foppa in Milan with a broken bottle shard was acquitted due to his incapacity to understand and intend his actions at the time of the facts.
The Decision. For the man, who was accused of attempted murder, the preliminary hearings judge (GUP) Manuela Cannavale did not even apply the two-year security measure in a Rems (Residential Facility for the Execution of Security Measures), as requested by the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The defendant is therefore released and will likely be expelled due to his irregular immigration status. The psychiatric evaluation, signed by psychiatrist Mario Mantero, had already confirmed the man’s incapacity to understand and intend his actions at the time of the facts. He was defended by lawyer Andrea Aloi, who utilized the technical consultant and psychiatrist Marco Frongillo.
The Expert Report. The expert report had also established a risk of social dangerousness, which is why the Public Prosecutor had requested that the man remain in a Rems for two years. The judge, however, did not grant the request. The defense, also submitting scientific studies, argued that there was no longer a “current” risk of social dangerousness for the man, as he was suffering from a “brief” psychotic disorder at the time of the facts, which was no longer present. The grounds for the sentence will be filed in 90 days.
The Man’s Account. To arrive in Italy eight years ago, the Bangladeshi man explained during the psychiatric evaluation, he paid “€15,000 and €7,000 for the residence permit”, after having studied law to become a lawyer in his own country. He then worked as an “underpaid laborer for three euros per hour” in some textile factories in the Naples area, a condition that made him “sad and desperate,” without friends, and “ashamed because of it.”
